Les Délices: Bach’s “Musical Offering”

With deep roots in the Northeast Ohio community, Les Délices is building a national reputation as a leader in the field of early music, advancing its relevance and sustainability. This afternoon, Les Délices performs J. S. Bach’s The Musical Offering.

The Musical Offering is a tour de force collection in which a single melody is continuously transformed in ways that challenge both the imagination and the intellect. Les Délices offers a guided tour of this incredible, rarely performed work, elucidating Bach’s rich counterpoint through instrumental colors, including violins, viola, flute, oboe da caccia, bassoon, cello, and harpsichord.

More information about Les Délices and this program can be found on the ensemble’s website (opens in a new tab).
